Sanzang said, "There are towers and pavilions to be seen — how could it not be a good spot?" Xingzhe laughed and said, "Master, ah, how would you know.Along the road to the West there are many demons and evil spirits skilled at transforming themselves into the likeness of villages and dwellings.No matter what towers, dwellings, halls, or pavilions — they can all conjure up such illusions to deceive people.」,You know how it's said that 'the dragon bears nine kinds of offspring'; among them is one called the shen.The shen breathes out vapor that shines forth, taking the very form of towered pavilions and shallow pools.Whenever it encounters a great river shrouded in mist, the shen manifests this very scene.Should any birds or magpies come flying by, they will surely come to rest their wings there.No matter how many thousands upon thousands there be, all will be swallowed up in a single breath of its vapor.This creature's intent to harm people is most severe.。」The air and hue over there are fierce and evil — we absolutely must not enter."

师徒四众冒雪冲寒,战澌澌行过那巅峰峻岭,远望见山凹中有楼台高耸,房舍清幽。唐僧马上欣然道:「徒弟啊,这一日又饥又寒,幸得那山凹里有楼台房舍,断乎是庄户人家,庵观寺院;且去化些斋饭,吃了再走。」行者闻言,急睁睛看,只见那壁厢凶云隐隐,恶气纷纷。回首对唐僧道:「师父,那厢不是好处。」三藏道:「见有楼台亭宇,如何不是好处?」行者笑道:「师父啊,你那里知道。西方路上多有妖怪邪魔,善能点化庄宅。不拘甚么楼台房舍,馆阁亭宇,俱能指化了哄人。你知道『龙生九种」,内有一种名蜃。蜃气放光,就如楼阁浅池。若遇大江昏迷,蜃现此势。倘有鸟鹊飞腾,定来歇翅。那怕你上万论千,尽被他一气吞之。此意害人最重。那壁厢气色凶恶,断不可入。」

:「。」:「。」Sanzang said, "If we truly must not enter, then I am indeed genuinely hungry." Xingzhe said, "If Master is truly hungry, please dismount, and sit here on this level ground for now; let me go elsewhere to beg some food for you to eat." Sanzang followed his words and dismounted, while Bajie held the reins steady.Sha Seng set down the luggage, and at once went to undo the bundle, taking out the alms bowl and handing it to Xingzhe.:「Xingzhe took the bowl in hand and instructed Sha Seng, "Worthy brother, you must not go on ahead.。」Guard Master well and keep him seated firmly here; wait until I return from begging food, and then we shall go west again." Sha Seng assented.:「Xingzhe then said again to Sanzang, "Master, this place holds little good fortune and much peril — on no account move from here to go elsewhere.。」:「Old Sun is off to beg food now." Tang Seng said, "No need to say more, only be quick to go and quick to return.。」:「。」I shall wait here for you." Xingzhe turned to go, but then turned back again and said, "Master, I know you have no patience for sitting still, so let me give you a way to keep safe." He at once took out his gold-banded staff, gave it a shake, and drew a circle on the level ground all around, inviting Tang Seng to sit within its middle;he had Bajie and Sha Seng stand in attendance to left and right, placing the horse and the luggage close by.:「He put his palms together toward Tang Seng and said, "This circle old Sun has drawn is stronger than a wall of bronze or iron.Whatever tigers, leopards, wolves, or venomous creatures, demons or monstrous spirits there may be, none shall dare draw near.Only you must not step outside the circle — sit steadily within it, and I guarantee you no harm;but should you step outside the circle, you will surely fall into vicious hands.。」I beg you most earnestly, most earnestly." Sanzang followed his words, and master and disciples all sat upright within it.

:「。」As Xingzhe walked about observing the scene of the village, he suddenly heard a creak — the brushwood gate sounded, and out came an old man, dragging a goosefoot cane, wearing a sheepskin cap on his head, clad in a tattered patched robe, his feet in rush sandals; leaning on his staff, he tilted his face up to the sky and said, "The northwest wind has risen — tomorrow it will clear." Before he had finished speaking, a little pug dog came running out from behind him, and barked wildly at Xingzhe.Only then did the old man turn his head and see Xingzhe holding his alms bowl.:「。」:「。」:「。」:「Xingzhe made a bow of greeting and said, "Venerable benefactor, this monk is an envoy from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land, bound for the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek the scriptures. Passing just now through your honored district, my master's stomach is empty with hunger, so I have come especially to your esteemed household to beg a meal." Hearing this, the old man nodded, thumped his staff, and said, "Elder, hold off on begging for food — you have taken the wrong road." Xingzhe said, "It is not wrong." The old man said, "The main road to the Western Heaven lies due north from here.?」:「From this place it is a thousand li distant — why not go find the main road and travel on it?" Xingzhe laughed and said, "It is indeed due north.。」:「My master is at this very moment sitting upright on the main road, waiting for me to bring back food." The old man said, "This monk talks nonsense.?」:「Your master waits on the main road for you to beg food, and yet it is a thousand li distant — even walking fast, it would take six or seven days to get there, and another six or seven days to walk back — would that not starve him half to death?" Xingzhe laughed and said, "Not to hide it from you, venerable benefactor, I only just left my master, and less than the time it takes to drink a cup of hot tea has passed, yet already I have walked to this place.。」Now, once I have begged the food, I still must hurry back in time to make it his noon meal."

:「。」Hearing this, the old man grew afraid at heart and said, "This monk is a ghost, a ghost." He hastily turned and made to go back inside.:「Xingzhe grabbed hold of him and said, "Benefactor, where are you going?。」:「。」:「If you have food, quickly spare some." The old man said, "It is inconvenient, inconvenient — go try another household instead." Xingzhe said, "You, benefactor, are quite unreasonable.You tell me it is a thousand li from here — if I go try another household, would that not again be a thousand li away?。」:「Truly you would starve my master to death."

Xingzhe said, "The ancients said, 'Better to sit at one house than to walk to three.' This poor monk will just wait here."

老者见说,心中害怕道:「这和尚是鬼,是鬼。」急抽身往里就走。行者一把扯住道:「施主那里去?有斋快化些儿。」老者道:「不方便,不方便,别转一家儿罢。」行者道:「你这施主好不会事。你说我离此有千里之遥,若再转一家,却不又有千里?真是饿杀我师父也。」那老者道:「实不瞒你说,我家老小六七口,才淘了三升米下锅,还未曾煮熟。你且到别处去转转再来。」行者道:「古人云:『走三家不如坐一家。』我贫僧在此等一等罢。」那老者见缠得紧,恼了,举藜杖就打。行者公然不惧,被他照光头上打了七八下,只当与他拂痒。那老者道:「这是个撞头的和尚。」行者笑道:「老官儿,凭你怎么打,只要记得杖数明白:一杖一升米,慢慢量来。」那老者闻言,急丢了藜杖,跑进去把门关了,只嚷:「有鬼,有鬼。」慌得那一家儿战战兢兢,把前后门俱关了。

Let old Sun just go in and have a look." Splendid Great Sage — he formed a spell with his fingers, worked a spell of invisibility, and went straight into the kitchen to look, and sure enough the pot was steaming away, with half a potful of dry rice already cooked.He at once thrust his alms bowl right in and scooped it brimful, then straightaway mounted his cloud and turned back — but no more of that for now.

却说唐僧坐在圈子里,等待多时,不见行者回来,欠身怅望道:「这猴子往那里化斋去了?」八戒在傍笑道:「知他往那里耍子去来?化甚么斋,却教我们在此坐牢。」三藏道:「怎么谓之坐牢?」八戒道:「师父,你原来不知,古人划地为牢?他将棍子划个圈儿,强似铁壁铜墙,假如有虎狼妖兽来时,如何挡得他住?只好白白的送与他吃罢了。」三藏道:「悟能,凭你怎么处治?」八戒道:「此间又不藏风,又不避冷,若依老猪,只该顺著路,往西且行。师兄化了斋,驾了云,必然来快,让他赶来。如有斋,吃了再走。如今坐了这一会,老大脚冷!」

When Sanzang heard these words, it was as if his unlucky star had arrived.So he went along with the idiot, and together they all stepped outside the circle.Bajie led the horse, Sha Seng shouldered the carrying-pole, and the elder walked on ahead along the road.Before long, they reached the place with the towers and pavilions, which turned out to be a household facing south with its back to the north.Outside the gate stood a splayed white-plastered wall, and there was a gate-tower with an inverted-lotus, tou-shaped roof, all decorated in five colors.The gate stood half open, half closed.Bajie tethered the horse to the drum-shaped stone at the gate's threshold;Sha Seng set down the carrying-pole;Sanzang, fearing the wind, sat down upon the threshold of the gate.:「Bajie said, "Master, this place must be the residence of some duke or marquis, some minister's household.There is no one outside the front gate — they must all be inside warming themselves by the fire.。」:「。」:「You all sit here while I go in and take a look." Tang Seng said, "Be careful — do not offend the people of the house." The idiot said, "I know.。」Ever since I turned to the true gate of Chan, I have of late learned a bit of propriety — I'm not like some crude, rustic fellow."

八戒正才感叹,只见那帐幔后有火光一幌。呆子道:「想是有侍奉香火之人在后面哩。」急转步,过帐观看,却是穿楼的窗扇透光。那壁厢有一张彩漆的桌子,桌子上乱搭著几件锦绣绵衣。呆子提起来看时,却是三件纳锦背心儿。

:「Without a thought for whether this was right or wrong, he took them down from the tower, went out through the hall, and straight out the gate, saying, "Master, there is not a soul to be found in there — it is a house of the dead.Old Hog went inside, straight up to the high tower, and within a yellow damask canopy found a heap of bones.Beside the passage tower there were three quilted brocade vests, which I have brought along — it is also a stroke of good fortune for us on this journey.The weather is bitter cold just now, and this is exactly the moment to put them to use.。」:「Master, do take off your cassock for a moment and put one of these on underneath — enjoy the comfort of it, and spare yourself the cold." Sanzang said, "No, no, that will not do.:『。』The law says, 'Whether openly taken or secretly stolen, both are theft.' Should someone find out and come after us, and it reach the officials, it would surely be judged the crime of theft.Take them back inside at once and lay them back where they were.We shall sit here a while to shelter from the wind, and set off again once Wukong returns.。」:「One who has left the household life must not be so covetous of trifling gain." Bajie said, "Looking all about, there's not a soul in sight — even the chickens and dogs would know nothing of it. Only we ourselves know; who is there to report us?What proof could there be??」:「It is just the same as picking up something lost — why bother arguing over 'openly taken' or 'secretly stolen'?" Sanzang said, "You are talking recklessly.Even if no man knows of it, how could Heaven fail to see it?:『。』。」The Dark Emperor left this teaching: 'A guilty heart in a hidden chamber — the eyes of the gods are like lightning.' Go quickly and return them, and do not covet things that are not rightfully yours."

他也不管好歹,拿下楼来,出厅房,径到门外道:「师父,这里全没人烟,是一所亡灵之宅。老猪走进里面,直至高楼之上,黄绫帐内,有一堆骸骨。串楼傍有三件纳锦的背心,被我拿来了,也是我们一程儿造化。此时天气寒冷,正当用处。师父,且脱了褊衫,把他且穿在底下,受用受用,免得吃冷。」三藏道:「不可,不可。律云:『公取窃取皆为盗。』倘或有人知觉,赶上我们,到了当官,断然是一个窃盗之罪。还不送进去与他搭在原处。我们在此避风坐一坐,等悟空来时走路。出家人不要这等爱小。」八戒道:「四顾无人,虽鸡犬亦不知之,但只我们知道,谁人告我?有何证见?就如拾得的一般,那里论甚么公取窃取也?」三藏道:「你胡做啊。虽是人不知之,天何盖焉?玄帝垂训云:『暗室亏心,神目如电。』趁早送去还他,莫爱非礼之物。」

:「The idiot had no mind at all to listen, and said to Tang Seng with a laugh, "Master, ah, in all my life I have worn a good many vests, but never one so finely quilted with brocade as this.If you won't wear it, then let old Hog put one on for now, just to try it out fresh, and warm up my back a bit.。」:「。」When elder brother returns, I'll take it off and give it back to them before we set off." Sha Seng said, "Since you put it that way, I'll put one on too." The two of them together took off their outer robes and put the vests on.No sooner had they drawn the cords tight than, for some reason, they could not stand steady, and fell with a thump.It turned out these vests were like binding ropes for capturing prisoners — in an instant they had bound the two of them, arms pinned behind their backs, hands clasped to their chests.This threw Sanzang into a panic; stamping his feet and complaining, he hurried over to untie them, but there was no way to loosen the bonds.The three of them there kept up an unceasing clamor of shouting, and this soon roused the demon lord.

那呆子莫想肯听,对唐僧笑道:「师父啊,我自为人,也穿了几件背心,不曾见这等纳锦的。你不穿,且待老猪穿一穿,试试新,晤晤脊背。等师兄来,脱了还他走路。」沙僧道:「既如此说,我也穿一件儿。」两个齐脱了上盖直裰,将背心套上。才紧带子,不知怎么立站不稳,扑的一跌。原来这背心儿赛过绑缚手,霎时间,把他两个背剪手贴心捆了。慌得个三藏跌足报怨,急忙来解,那里便解得开。三个人在那里吆喝之声不绝,却早惊动了魔头。

It turned out that this tower-building was indeed conjured up by a demon spirit, who used it daily to catch people.He was sitting in his cave just then, when suddenly he heard the sound of angry complaint; he hurried out to look, and sure enough saw several people bound fast.The demon at once called his little demons, and together they went over to that place and dissolved the illusion of the towers and dwellings.They took hold of Tang Seng, led away the white horse, carried off the luggage, and seized Bajie and Sha Seng together, taking them all to the cave.The old demon king climbed up and sat high upon his dais, while the little demons pushed Tang Seng forward to the edge of the dais, where he knelt prostrate on the ground.:「The demon asked, "What monk are you, from what region??」:「How dare you be so bold as to steal my garments in broad daylight?" Sanzang, tears falling, pleaded, "This poor monk is an envoy from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land, sent to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures.Because my stomach was empty with hunger, I sent my eldest disciple to beg food, and he had not yet returned; not having followed his instructions, I mistakenly wandered into this immortal hall to shelter from the wind.I never expected that these two disciples of mine, coveting trifling gain, would bring out these garments.This poor monk truly dared not harbor any ill intent, and had already told them to return the things to their original place.They would not heed my words, wishing instead to put them on to warm their backs, and never expected it would fall right into the Great King's trap, whereby this poor monk was captured.。」:「I beg most earnestly for your mercy — spare my remaining life, that I may go on to fetch the true scriptures, and I shall forever record the Great King's kindness, proclaiming it through the ages upon my return to the Eastern Land." The demon laughed and said, "Here I have often heard people say: whoever eats a piece of Tang Seng's flesh will have white hair turn black again, and fallen teeth grow anew.Fortunately, you've come today uninvited, so you may still hope to be spared.What is your senior disciple's name??」:「。」"Where did he go to beg for food?" Hearing this, Bajie immediately spoke up in praise, saying, "My elder martial brother is none other than Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who wreaked havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago."

原来那座楼房果是妖精点化的,终日在此拿人。他在洞里正坐,忽闻得怨恨之声,急出门来看,果见捆住几个人了。妖魔即唤小妖,同到那厢,收了楼台房屋之形。把唐僧搀住,牵了白马,挑了行李,将八戒、沙僧一齐捉到洞里。老妖魔登台高坐,众小妖把唐僧推近台边,跪伏于地。妖魔问道:「你是那方和尚?怎么这般胆大,白日里偷盗我的衣服?」三藏滴泪告曰:「贫僧是东土大唐钦差往西天取经的。因腹中饥馁,著大徒弟去化斋未回,不曾依得他的言语,误撞仙庭避风。不期我这两个徒弟爱小,拿出这衣物来。贫僧决不敢坏心,当教送还本处。他不听吾言,要穿此晤晤脊背,不料中了大王机会,把贫僧拿来。万望慈悯,留我残生,求取真经,永注大王恩情,回东土千古传扬也。」那妖魔笑道:「我这里常听得人言:有人吃了唐僧一块肉,发白还黑,齿落更生。幸今日不请自来,还指望饶你哩。你那大徒弟叫做甚么名字?往何方化斋?」八戒闻言,即开口称扬道:「我师兄乃五百年前大闹天宫齐天大圣孙悟空也。」

:「。」:「When the demon heard it was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he felt a great deal of fear; though he said nothing aloud, in his heart he thought, "I have long heard that fellow's magic powers are vast — and now, unexpectedly, we meet." He ordered, "Little ones, tie up Tang Seng;take the treasures off those other two, replace them with two ropes, and tie them up as well.。」"Carry them to the back for now; once I've caught his senior disciple, I'll scrub them all clean together, and it will be just right to fill the steamer and eat them." The little demons answered with one voice, tied all three of them up together, and carried them to the back.They tethered the white horse at the trough and carried the luggage into the room.All the demons sharpened their weapons, preparing to capture Xingzhe — but let us leave that aside for now.

那妖魔听说是齐天大圣孙悟空,老大有些悚惧,口内不言,心中暗想道:「久闻那厮神通广大,如今不期而会。」教:「小的们,把唐僧捆了;将那两个解下宝贝,换两条绳子,也捆了。且抬在后边,待我拿住他大徒弟,一发刷洗,却好凑笼蒸吃。」众小妖答应一声,把三人一齐捆了,抬在后边。将白马拴在槽头,行李挑在屋里。众妖都磨兵器,准备擒拿行者不题。

Now to tell of Sun Xingzhe: having gathered a bowl of vegetarian food from a household in the southern village, he rode his cloud back along the old road, went straight to the flat spot on the mountain slope, and lowered his cloud — but Tang Seng was already gone, nowhere to be seen; the circle drawn with his staff was still there, but the men and horse had all vanished.Turning to look back at where the towers and halls had stood, they too were gone entirely; he saw only strange rocks at the foot of the mountain.:「。」Startled, Xingzhe said, "There's no need to ask — they must have fallen into that vicious hand." He hurriedly followed the road, watching the horse's hoofprints, and chased westward.

却说孙行者自南庄人家摄了一钵盂斋饭,驾云回返旧路,径至山坡平处,按下云头,早已不见唐僧,不知何往,棍划的圈子还在,只是人马都不见了。回看那楼台处所,亦俱无矣,惟见山根怪石。行者心惊道:「不消说了,他们定是遭那毒手也。」急依路看著马蹄,向西而赶。

After traveling five or six li, just as he was in the midst of his grief, he suddenly heard voices beyond the northern slope.Looking closer, he saw an old man, his body covered in a felt robe, a warm cap over his head, his feet in a pair of half-new, half-worn oiled boots, holding a dragon-headed walking staff; behind him followed a young page boy who had broken off a branch of wintersweet blossom, and the two were walking along in front of the slope, chanting a song.:「。」:「?」:「Xingzhe set down his alms bowl, came face to face with the old man, and greeted him with a bow, saying, "Venerable elder, this poor monk offers his greetings." The old man at once returned the courtesy, saying, "Where has the elder come from?" Xingzhe said, "We have come from the Land of the East, bound for the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures — master and disciples, four of us in all.Because my master was hungry, I went specially to beg for food, and told the other three to sit and wait for me at that flat spot on the mountain slope.When I returned, they were nowhere to be found, and I don't know which road they took.?」:「?」:「。」「?」:「。」:「。」:「May I ask, venerable sir, did you happen to see them?" Hearing this, the old man gave a cold chuckle and said, "Among those three of yours, was there one with a long snout and big ears?" Xingzhe said, "Yes, yes, yes." "And was there another with an unlucky, dark complexion, leading a white horse, guiding a fat monk with a pale face?" Xingzhe said, "Yes, yes, yes." The old man said, "You have taken the wrong road. Don't go looking for them — each of you had best save your own life and go your own way." Xingzhe said, "The pale-faced one is my master, and the strange-looking one is my fellow disciple.?」:「。」:「He and I together made a devout vow to go to the Western Heaven to fetch scriptures — how could I not go looking for him?" The old man said, "I just passed by here a moment ago, and I saw them take the wrong path and rush straight into a demon's mouth." Xingzhe said, "I beg you, venerable sir, please instruct me — what kind of demon is it?。」:「Where does it live, so that I may go to its door and demand them back, and then continue on to the Western Heaven?" The old man said, "This mountain is called Jindou Shan, Mount Golden Helmet.In front of the mountain there is a cave called Jindou Dong, the Golden Helmet Cave, and in that cave lives the Great King Single-Horned Rhinoceros.That Great King has vast magic powers and is mighty and formidable.Those three of yours are surely doomed to die this time; if you go looking for him, I fear even you may not be able to save yourself — it would be better not to go at all.。」I dare not stop you, nor dare I detain you — it is entirely up to your own judgment."

行有五六里,正在凄怆之际,只闻得北坡外有人言语。看时,乃一个老翁,毡衣盖体,暖帽蒙头,足下踏一双半新半旧的油靴,手持著一根龙头拐棒,后边跟一个年幼的僮仆,折一枝腊梅花,自坡前念歌而走。行者放下钵盂,觌面道个问讯,叫:「老公公,贫僧问讯了。」那老翁即便回礼道:「长老那里来的?」行者道:「我们东土来的,往西天拜佛求经,一行师徒四众。我因师父饥了,特去化斋,教他三众坐在那山坡平处相候。及回来不见,不知往那条路上去了。动问公公,可曾看见?」老者闻言,呵呵冷笑道:「你那三众,可有一个长嘴大耳的么?」行者道:「有有有。」「又有一个晦气色脸的,牵著一匹白马,领著一个白脸的胖和尚么?」行者道:「是是是。」老翁道:「你们走错路了,你休寻他,各人顾命去也。」行者道:「那白脸者是我师父,那怪样者是我师弟。我与他共发虔心,要往西天取经,如何不寻他去?」老翁道:「我才然从此过时,看见他们错走了路径,闯入妖魔口里去了。」行者道:「烦公公指教指教,是个甚么妖魔?居于何方我好上门取索他等,往西天去也。」老翁道:「这座山叫做金兜山。山前有个金兜洞,那洞中有个独角兕大王。那大王神通广大,威武高强。那三众此回断没命了,你若去寻他,只怕连你也难保,不如不去之为愈也。我也不敢阻你,也不敢留你,只凭你心中度量。」

:「Xingzhe bowed again in thanks, saying, "I am most grateful for your instruction, venerable sir.?」How could there be any reason for me not to search for them?" He poured out the vegetarian food for the old man, and kept the empty bowl for himself to carry.:「The old man set down his staff, took the bowl, handed it to the page boy, and then revealed his true form; the two of them knelt down together and kowtowed, saying, "Great Sage, this lesser god dares not conceal the truth.The two of us are the mountain god and the local land god of this mountain, waiting here to receive the Great Sage.This lesser god will keep this food along with the bowl, so that the Great Sage may travel light and be free to exercise his magic powers.。」:「Once you have rescued Tang Seng from his difficulty, this food will be returned and offered to Tang Seng, so as to show how truly reverent and filial the Great Sage is." Xingzhe shouted, "You hairy ghost, you're asking for a beating!?」:「。」:「If you knew I was coming, why didn't you come to greet me sooner, instead of hiding your head and showing your tail like this — what's the meaning of that?" The local god said, "The Great Sage is quick-tempered, and this lesser god dared not act rashly, fearing to offend your awesome countenance; that is why I hid my true form to inform you." Xingzhe, calming his anger, said, "Just remember, you owe me a beating for that.。」Take good care of the bowl for me while I go and capture that demon." The local god and the mountain god respectfully obeyed.

行者笑道:「泼物!不须讲口,但说比势,正合老孙之意。走上来,吃吾之棒。」那怪物那怕甚么赌斗,挺钢枪劈面迎来。这一场好杀!你看那:

The two of them fought through thirty rounds without either gaining the upper hand.:「。」:「Seeing that Sun Wukong's staff technique was so disciplined, thrust and parry without a single flaw, the demon king was delighted and cried out in praise again and again, "Fine monkey, fine monkey! Truly the skill of the one who wreaked havoc in Heaven!" The Great Sage likewise admired how orderly the demon's spearwork was, warding off blows left and right with great skill, and he too called out, "Fine demon, fine demon!。」Truly a demon chief worthy of having stolen elixir!" The two fought another ten or twenty rounds more, then the demon king planted the tip of his spear on the ground and shouted an order for the little demons to close in together.Those vile demons, each wielding a blade or a cudgel, gripping swords, swinging spears, surrounded the Great Sage Sun in their midst.:「。」Xingzhe was not the least bit afraid, and only called out, "Well come, well come — this suits my intentions exactly." He wielded his gold-banded staff, meeting attacks in front and blocking behind, warding off blows east and west.That band of demons had no intention whatsoever of retreating.:「!」Unable to bear it any longer, Xingzhe grew impatient, tossed his gold-banded staff into the air, and shouted, "Change!" It at once transformed into a thousand, a hundred iron staves, just like flying snakes and racing pythons, falling in a wild scatter from the sky.When that band of demons saw this, each and every one of them was scared out of their wits; clutching their necks and hunching their heads, they all fled into the cave to save their lives.:「。」:「!」The old demon king gave a cold chuckle and said, "Don't be so insolent, monkey — watch this trick." He hastily drew from his sleeve a gleaming, stark-white ring, tossed it up into the air, and shouted, "Take that!" With a whoosh, it gathered the gold-banded staff back into a single rod and caught it up in a loop, carrying it off.This left the Great Sage Sun empty-handed, and he turned a somersault to flee and save his life.The demon, victorious, returned to his cave, while Xingzhe, dazed and bewildered, had lost all sense of what to do.This is just as it is said:

What it’s about

After crossing the Heaven-Reaching River, the pilgrims travel into cold mountains where Wukong leaves to beg for food. Before going he draws a protective circle and strictly orders Tripitaka, Bajie and Sha Wujing to remain inside it. Bajie persuades the others that a nearby mansion may offer better shelter. Inside they find rich embroidered garments; despite Sha Wujing's doubts and Wukong's warning, Tripitaka and Bajie put them on and are instantly bound by them.

The mansion vanishes, revealing the trap of the Single-Horned Great King, who carries the three captives to his Golden-Pocket Cave. Wukong returns, reads the signs of their disobedience and challenges the demon. Although his opponent seems merely another powerful fighter, he produces a shining white ring that sucks away Wukong's iron staff. Deprived of the weapon on which he usually relies, Wukong must discover the ring's origin before he can rescue the others.

When it was written 背景

Chapter fifty begins a new arc immediately after the Heaven-Reaching River, returning to the recurrent conflict between Wukong's protective knowledge and his companions' appetite, discomfort and curiosity. The magic circle is safe only while they consent to its boundary, and the alluring clothes turn desire itself into a physical bond. Learners should note that this is intentionally an opening rather than a resolution: the demon's ring changes the usual combat rules by confiscating weapons and will draw Wukong into a wide search for celestial assistance in the chapters ahead.
